Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Fresh cranberries have a tart and tangy flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients in stuffing. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Chop the walnuts finely. Finely chopped walnuts will distribute evenly throughout the stuffing and provide a nice crunchy texture.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices. This will give the stuffing a complex and flavorful taste. Some good options include sage, thyme, rosemary, and nutmeg.
  • Don't overstuff the turkey. Overstuffing the turkey will make it difficult to cook evenly and can also cause the stuffing to become dry.
  • Bake the stuffing in a covered dish. This will help to keep the stuffing moist and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the stuffing rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and will make the stuffing easier to handle.
